How High Blood Pressure Affects Dogs
High blood pressure harms a dog's eyes, heart, kidneys, and nervous system. It can cause retinal damage and vision loss, heart enlargement and failure, kidney failure, and stroke or paralysis. Owners should watch for signs and see a veterinarian, who may measure blood pressure and suggest a low-salt, low-fat diet or medication. Risk rises with obesity, age, genetics, diabetes, thyroid or kidney disease, and stress. Prevention includes regular checkups, a healthy weight, calm surroundings, and daily exercise.
How to Tell If Your Dog Has an Eye Problem
Eye trouble shows as constant cloudy tears, hardened gunk, rubbing or bumping the eye, swollen or red lids, bulging (glaucoma), white clouding (cataracts), or entropion/ectropion. Clean with pet eye drops and wipes daily; correct lids and cornea with vet care. Flat-faced and loose-skinned breeds need extra caution.
Why Are My Cat’s Eyes Always Wet?
Constant wetness at a cat's eye corners is usually harmless tear pooling—after waking, mild dust, or the narrow tear ducts of flat-faced breeds like Exotics and Persians.

Start with gentle cleaning and a few days of observation.

Canine and Feline Globe Prolapse (Eye Protrusion)
